'Im alright jack'

[SuitsBlue]

Its quite an attitude, and im trying to understand it.

With the season being well underway the ground move debate has taken a back seat to the games, transfers and rumours since the actual result of the vote had been announced.

There has been a great deal of dissent over how the vote was structure and handled, as well as questions raised over the validity of the count and over the actual number of non-voters.

There are a Great number of seats in goodison park that have obstructed views, i have come to the conclusion that the 'individuals' fighting tooth and nail to stay are the individuals lucky enough to have unobstructed views which allow them (and only them) the privilege of enjoying the entire game as a spectacle.

perhaps i am being a little bit harsh, but then i counter that with either the malicious knowledge these people have of the spectator experience of their fellow fans or the blissful ignorance of the spectator experience for their fellow fans.

I recently sat in the lower bullens stand, and had to suffer both goals being obstructed. (see pics)

(pic 1 - wessels warms up in gwlady nets)
(pic 2 - tim howard in park end net)
(pic 3 - santa cruz celebrates in front of travelling support in park end bullens corner)
(pic 4 - arteta takes corner at gwlady bullens corner then disappears behing a bohemoth of a stantion)

but so long as 'they' are alright, nothing else matters.

I can't wait till we have a stadium with no obstructed views.

At the moment, non season ticket holders generally have a choice of sitting right near the front, where the curve of the pitch gives a rubbish view of the opposite side, or sit further back and have the delightful views that suits has posted. I tend to go for down the front, just so you can actually see both goals. But for over £30 I expect a lot more. Bring on the new stadium!

upper gwladys

stood in the lower bullens

 

[BlueWool]

Aye. Lower Bullens is a joke. I haven't been in there since about 1991. If it came down to it and I had to sit there I wouldn't bother going.

 

[SuitsBlue]

learnt my lesson, might go for a main stand next time, take the camera and expose the utter torment that is the crap views in goodison.

 

[Dylan]

Holy crap, I knew it was bad, but not that bad! I always sat with unobstructed views when I went. (Main Stand, mainly and a couple of time pitch side in the family enclosure, nearer Gwladys St End)

We need to move. Those views in todays day and age really is unacceptable.

The move can't come quick enough, it really is a pity we can't stay though. I will shed a tear when the last game is played at Goodison.

 

[Namdrater]

Will be such a shame to leave such a grand monument of football, must be one of the oldest stadiums in the world. Anyone know whats happening to it once we leave?

 

[SuitsBlue]

sold for houses and apartments.

dead on cert. unfortunatley

 

[Robert Jarvis]

Your photos show vividly why we need a new stadium so everyone has views as though you were in Park End. It is ironic but don't the visiting fans get the best views!

 

[SuitsBlue]

i have only heard stories about their bit - im led to believe our toilets are vastly superior, and that they get a load of obstructed views as well.

[Poor language removed] Suits that reminds me of the old boys pen days, as for toilets, piss where you stood in a rolled up Echo, oh the smell, great joy

i really hate the lower bullens. i went on a date(!) once and got tickets in that stand. it was really claustrophobic with the roof coming down, we could not see the scoreboard(!!) and poles everywhere.

but as the saying goes.. if you take a bird to an obstructed view at goodison and she comes back- it was meant to be!
